Sorry I took so long.
Its to keep in the electricity. Haha just joking.

Yes that is the pickup for the autometer tachometer I added to the truck right after I got it.
It reads the electronic field of the alt. That's how I understand it anyway.

Could someone please post a pic of this plate under the hose?
Thanks.

Just take a pice of aluminum and put it where the belt could conytact the upper hose. It is an easy fix. The upper clamp from new had a stainless steel piece as part of the clamp. It protects the hose from the belt should it bounce up and touch it. I have used double clamps if I had to make the metal guard. It should be like .040 aluminum. A beverage can is not heavy enough and will bent to easily. Good luck.

Not today but in the last couple weeks I removed the injection pump, had it rebuilt with a Stanadyne kit,
reinstalled it and after driving it, I have figured out that I should have done that a long time ago.
I also replaced the vacuum lines for the transmission.

Old Number 13 now runs and shifts like I imagine she would have about 30 years ago.

Installed a 2" lift kit today. It rides so much better with the new shocks. Gained a full 2.5" in the rear, front only gained 1.25" Looks like I'll be adding some zero rates/ez inch to even everything out. Man were those factory bolts a pain to get out!

Wired in up the winch too for both front and back use using a Warn quick disconnect kit.

Changed out the windshield on my m1028 today with one from a parts truck I bought last year. The old one had a scratch from the wiper arm on it, the "new" one is mint and tinted at the top. I'll have to get the right tools for the next time, it was a bit tedious doing this one with a screwdriver but it's done.

Does it have the built in antenna? I got mine replaced through insurance after my buddy smashed mine with his head when we were offroading and he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and they got me the one with the antenna and the tinted top both. Got the antenna dongle from LMC and used that as my radio antenna.
